A very nice thread.
I have always been hearing these names and has faint ideas of what they mean (thanks to my ex-GF) but now I know better.
However, I think
Okonkwo= MAN born on Nkwo day
Okafor= MAN born on Afor day
Okeke= MAN born on Eke day
Okorie= MAN born on Orie day
iKEDIOBI= power in the heart
Osadebe= Olisadebe 1 Like |

We were arguing about the name "Thank God" just yesterday.
A guy said his name is thank God and i called him Kelechi. He said Kelechi should be Praise God and Chiemela should be Thank God. That's what started the argument.

Fatherofdragons:
Chiamela is God has done well
Kelechi is thank God
Tochukwu is praise God That's what I thought. But on a second thought after the argument, l began to wonder if Kelechi should better mean "Greet God" You know how you can tell a child to greet "Kele" aunty Ngozi. |

Arijude:
Arinze is not self explanatory like other igbo names. I'm Arinze by name and i was told the meaning of Arinze by my mom. In full, ARINZECHUKWU meaning, "if not for God" It is only a section of Igbo people that understands and bear the name. 1 Like 1 Share |
